the ki that you will get sick if you are lucky. so the people of detroit, don't feel bad if you're serious of turning your economy around, they are worst things than a waterless water park.

they are not getting sick. their cognitive function has improved. any muscle coordination issues have resolved and children are going from being in a wheelchair to walking through the mountains of colorado. it's pretty amazing how much this medicine can do for a child with this syndrome. >> brian, you had this dramatic showdown with governor christie. let's take a look at this. >> i wish for the best for you, your daughter, and your family and i'm going to do what i think is best for the people of the state. >> please don't let my daughter die, governor. >> there can't be many more emerging things to say to a governor than please don't let my daughter die. obviously you were direct with him and he was quite direct with you. he wasn't going to bow what he saw as a personal or emotional case in your point. but what do you think about how the governor has gone about this generally? >> he didn't really want to

listen to anything. i think he had his mind made up from the beginning. we tried several times to reach out to talk to him or his office. we tried reaching out to the experts to try to get them to contact him. we only spoke to his representatives. we knew going in he had his mind made up. there probably wasn't much we could do to change it but we wanted to get the story out there, make it publicly known what was at stake here so that whatever decision he ended up making at the end of the day, he could be held accountable for whatever action he did or didn't take and going down to confront him was only because we couldn't get that meeting with him. we couldn't get an appointment. i really wanted to bring my daughter vivian with me. she was really sick that day having a lot of seizures. we were on vacation. so i had to drive up by myself to come see him. but it was an emotional day. you know? >> right. and emotional to watch.

i'm a parent. i've got a young 20-month-old daughter. my heart goes out to you. meghan, to put it in perspective, how many seizures can she have during a day? >> vivian on a good day will have maybe ten seizures and they are minor seizures. they happen in a second and they are over and there's nothing you could do for them. and up to 100 if she's teething. it's a huge trigger for her so she has she's head bobs as a result of patterns and light. she can have them all day long. but every four to ten days she'll have a grand mal and that's a more severe seizure. so we deal with seizures all day every day. >> which is unbelievably harrowing thing for any parent to go through. brian, the reality of the

actions that governor christie took on friday, when does that mean that you could actually use edible marijuana for vivian legally in new jersey? >> well, today it got approved and it needs to go to assembly. unless they have an emergency session to come in and approve these conditionals, we're waiting until november before it gets passed and then it has to go through regulation and then someone has to figure out how to grow these plants because they grow very differently. you have to figure out how to make the edibles for the children if they are going to take that up financially. realistically, it would be a year. i'd be surprised if it was less than a year that we had anything in vivian's hands. >> you have options in the sense that there are states in america now that have fully legalized the use of marijuana but for recreational and medical use. are you tempted to take vivian out of new jersey and go somewhere like colorado, for example, where it's all completely legal? >> absolutely.

it's a decision that we discuss every single day. we actually decided after christie's announcement on friday that we were going to give ourselves this week to not talk about it, regroup, and then see where we are next week. but a year is a year of seizures and only if we have to move their temporarily to get vivian on the treatment as soon as possible, that's what we'll do. we're not going to stop at anything to help our daughter. >> and how is she at the moment, would you say, brian? >> today she was pretty good. yesterday she had a bad day. every day it's very intermittent. sometimes she'll have a good day, partial day. right now she's doing good because she's upstairs sleeping in her crib. >> she's a moody 2-year-old. ask us by the minute how she's doing. some days are better than others. we like that actually because that's a normal side to vivian. she has tantrums like other

2-year-olds, yeah. >> i admire your campaigning spirit on this. i think it's an issue that is gripping american right now, medical marijuana, and i'm totally on your side with this and i wish you every success. thank you both for joining me. >> thank you so much. another big story tonight, royal news. prince william sat down with cnn's max foster. the first interview since the birth of young prince george. take a listen to this. >> he's a little bit of a rascal. i'll put it that way. he kind of reminds me of my brother or me, i'm not sure. but he's doing very well at the moment. he does like to keep his nappies changed. >> you did the first nappie? >> yeah. >> max foster is joining me now. sitting down with the future king and then talking with the king after that. he seemed pretty relaxed in that interview and happy to talk? >> yeah. i think we were in the moment,

really. this was in the first couple of weeks of fatherhood. he was tore up in that elation. it wasn't that long ago for you, piers. you can see it in his eyes and he's completely consumed by fatherhood, huge respect for kate and a lot of love for his son. he said he was emotional, perhaps because he was tired. i think that's how he got to pint where he was just really sort of comfortable in giving the interview. >> let's take another look at the clip. this is an introduction of george. >> we were happy to show him off to anyone who wanted to see him. you're happy to show off your new child and pretend he's the best looking or the best everything. >> you were comfortable there? >> yeah. again, it's not somewhere i enjoy being but i know in the position that i'm in it's what is required of me to do. i think it's one of those things

and it's nice that people want to see george and i'm glad that he wasn't screaming. >> what struck me, max, is that he really has come to terms both with dealing with the media who he loathed and i think also dealing with his dense of duty and the sense that he will one day be on the throne of england. >> i think what people saw as well was this side of him where he tries to take control of situations. rather than letting the machine around him take over, what he does is try to do things which make him feel comfortable. so here coming outside we were told this is what he was going to do. everything went to plan. he decided everything along with kate, you know, getting the car seat in the car driving off. these are things that he didn't have to do. he wanted to do. it's all about doing things on

his terms. i think he got to a point where he knows himself better so he's able to decide what will make him comfortable. >> i thought the car seat was one of the great gambles of modern royal history. i've had four kids and i still can't work out car seats and he went for it in front of the world's media. let's take a look at this, what he said about it. >> that moment you came out with the car seat, we had some warning that you might be doing that. fathers around the planet will be cursing you for doing it so easily. >> believe me, it wasn't my first time and i know there's speculation about it, i had to practice. i was terrified i was going to -- it was going to fall off or not close properly. so i had practiced with that seat. >> and your decision to drive off, i remember that moment as well. that was the most nerve-racking thing for me, having my family in the car. that is something that you were clearly determined to do? >> i can be. i can be as independent as i want to be. same as catherine and harry.

we've all grown up differently to other generations and i very much feel if i can do it myself, i want to do it myself and there are times when you can't do it yourself and the system takes over when it's appropriate to do things differently but driving your son and wife away from the hospital is really important to me and i don't like staff so it's much easier to do it yourself. >> it's hard to understand the impact of this royal baby and indeed the previous royal wedding on the world. they have become the superstars of the royals and i believe, given the royals real momentum again after all of the fallout from diana's death. >> and here he is in front of that crowd. you don't see the image but on the other side of the street, literally, as far as you can see, media. it was such a big story and everyone wanted to know every twist and turn. ultimately it was a story of a lady going to a hospital, having a baby, and walking out. but it fits into the fairytale, doesn't it? you covered the royal wedding.

you knew william as a boy. you've seen him grow up, marry this girl. it's a proper fairytale and this was the next chapter in the story and it's working and people are happy for them, i think, in a news gender when there is lots of grim news out there, they are living up to expectations in a way. >> they are. i like the new william. i knew him when he was young. i had dinner once with him and diana when he was 13. he was shy and in braces. to see him coming out of his shell and be this charming young man and good father and husband, it's good to see. max foster, congratulations again. you can see more of max's interview, a cnn documentary, premiers september 15th on sunday. conspiracy theory about the death of princess diana. i'll talk to tina brown. #%tia[

i think the last few weeks for me have been a very emotional experience, something i never thought i would feel myself and i find again it's only been a short period but a lot of things affect me differently now. >> prince william talking about how his life has changed since the birth of prince george. joining me now is "daily beast" editor tina brown. welcome to you. >> thank you, piers. it's nice to be with you. >> what is your reaction to the new prince william? >> he's extraordinary appealing. he's now behaving just like you would hope he would be, which is this very loving family man. he's suddenly become a man with a family as opposed to a man

with a bride or a man with a new baby. he has a family now. even the dog has somehow made up the picture of this new image really of prince william. >> what do you -- you know diana better than most and you've written this riveting book about her. why do you think diana would have made about all of this? it's such a shame that she's not around to see this. >> i think she would have been thrilled to see the parenting in the face of so much royal difficulty and attempts to suppress and make her children live in ways that, you know, her husband had lived. it's come to fruition, actually the way she parented these boys has turned them into contemporary young men. they are not old-fashion out of the loop people that poor prince charles was because they have been raised by a loving mother who actually did things like take them to theme parks and take them on water slides and take them to movies and they sat

there and ate popcorn like everyone else did. it was a normal background despite the paparazzi. she did that for them. >> what about this conspiracy theory that has come out of britain alleging that perhaps an s.a.s. soldier may have been behind diana's death? to me it sounds utterly absurd but what do you think about it? >> on the same day that we cease these incredible pictures of her son, he's got a child and a family, we're also still talking about whether or not princess diana was killed in a conspiracy 16 years ago. it's remarkable. it's absolutely potatoes. it's all been blown up by the multiple inquiries that the french inquiry was so extraordinarily rigorous. there was the big inquest. all of these inquest and inquiries will show that this was not the case. she could not have been murdered. the events of that night were so

chaotic, were so very variable, were so unlikely, planning such a murder would have been impossible. >> yeah. i think if you study the detail, you read a great piece on "the daily beast" today reading a lot of that detail that you had researched before. you're left with a drunk driver who was just driving too fast and lost control at an underpass that i've driven down and it has a slight dip and if you go too fast and collide as he did, then disaster can strike and the feeling that we now know when they investigated that was eliminated from any inquiry. >> the whole idea that the driver was blinded by a flash by a mysterious s.a.s. officer, the driver lost control before he went into that tunnel and he lost control because he took off like a bat out of hell at 75 miles an hour from the

paparazzi, rushed towards that tunnel which had had already been the scene of many, many accidents before because it was a lethal tunnel. he didn't slow down because he had at least six they thought -- four to six french drinks that, you know, are very potent. he would mix that with prozac and another medication that he was on. he only had this combination of the medication, going too fast, not slowing down, going into that tunnel without any kind of care and then on the right-happened side and he swerves to avoid it and ricochets from one pillar to the next and crashes into the pillar of the tunnel. and of course all of that led up to this disastrous crash and diana wasn't wearing a seat belt. that was the last awful detail. the irony is that the bodyguard was wearing a seat belt but she wasn't and neither was dodi and that's why they died and she did not. >> i think the soldier being

involved, we should just disregard it. marissa mayer has posed for "vogue." >> she's very sort of cool and almost nordic in sort of an aloof beauty and charm and it was almost like an art shot. i suspect that she was -- she's an incredibly visually sophisticated. she loves fashion and style and art and i think she was probably beguiled by the idea of this picture, almost like an art piece because it is a picture. it does remind me of a time about 25 years ago, it must be that, when "vanity fair," we took a photograph similar in its reaction of diane sawyer when she was at abc. >> i remember that.

>> it was a famous picture, her lying in a red provocative pose on a couch and everyone went crazy saying here's a smart woman she should not be doing this. but i think in this case it's actually one of the great wonderful differences between women executives and men is you can be a geek or a sort of cracking ceo at day but after dark you can be seductive or be as different as you want. men only get to have one role, they show up in their boring suits morning, noon, and night and a woman can be a sexy fox at night. that's one of the things that we have over you, piers. >> some of us men try and be sexy folks. >> absolutely, piers, i'm sorry to say, i'm sure you show up in your after-hours gear but most men do not.

>> the other thing about marissa mayer is i tweeted my rage at having very slow yahoo! mail about a month ago and she immediately tweeted back and said, i'm going to get into this and put me on to her top technicians and before i knew it, i had wonderful e-mail again. i liked that kind of micromanagement. >> she's fantastic. look at all of these acquisitions that she's done within 20 minutes of arriving there. she's created more action in yahoo! in the last year than we saw in the years before. she had a baby immediately and that didn't stop with her. she's wonderfully driven and incredibly high powered. no question. >> reminds me of someone else. tina, thank you for joining me. >> thank you, piers. the first family announce an addition to the white house. meet sunny. she joins bo obama. the dog they got when they first moved to washington. they say she's full of energy and very affectionate.

that's the dog, not the first lady. they made a donation to the washington human society in her honor. when we come back, the 12-year-old who was attacked by a bear twice and pretty badly injured but she lived to tell the tale. joining me is her and her father. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. when i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever,

bruising, bleeding, or paleness. since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, it's the little things that mean the most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

very terrifying. >> it was obviously a lot bigger than you but you had the commonsense to play dead. now, that is something that you get taught to do and i would imagine in the heat of the moment you could often forget. what made you remember that? >> well, first i ran because i was terrified so i just started running and then it just took me down and then when it took me down the second time i just -- i had nothing else to lose so i just thought, i'll just play dead and that seemed to work. but it kind of had attacked me first. >> when the bear attacked you, what did it actually do to you? >> when the bear attacked me, it just clawed me and it was like

growling and it -- yeah, it was scary. very scary. >> terrifying. you had deep gashes to your thighs and back and you had 100 stitches. chris, this is every parent's nightmare. where were you and what was your reaction when you found out what was going on? >> i was inside the house. i heard a lot of screaming. i ran out and asked my wife what was going on. she heard from a neighbor who heard abby screaming. i mentally just grabbed a gun and ran out because i heard abby and bear and it was just -- it was terrifying. >> did you see the bear? >> no, i didn't. >> the bear had gone and there was abby. i mean, when that bear left, that must have been one of the best moments of your life, wasn't it? >> yeah.

but it was almost one of the most terrifying. i thought maybe it would come back but thank god it didn't. but actually when i was -- when laura, my neighbor, when she went to go get my parents for help, it i guess came back and it was five yards away from me. i had no idea. i didn't see it. >> but now that you are okay and you're going to be okay, these must be the coolest instagram pictures ever, right? your stitches, i survived a bear attack. >> oh, yeah. i couldn't really go on instagram because i don't have a phone but it kind of went for a swim. but -- >> i think chris you may have to get your daughter a phone in case she's out when another bear attacks you. how is she going to call you? >> she's had a few and she's lost a few and just happened to not have one at the time. >> presumably you're on

facebook, are you, abby? >> on facebook? >> are you on facebook? >> yeah, i'm on facebook. uh-huh. >> do you have a new facebook status update, i survived a bear attack? >> i haven't been on facebook in a while but -- because it's really hard to keep track of all of it and just to say thank you to everybody. >> well, you can say thank you now because it's an amazing story of survival. i'm thrilled that you're here to talk about it. obviously terrifying for you and your family and your dad. chris, thank you for coming on. i'm so glad that it ended happily for you and i really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. >> yeah, thank you. >> when we come back, "the butler" topped the charts. and i'm going to talk to cuba gooding jr. and lenny kravitz.

didn't think that it was going to be -- we didn't think that it was going to be what it was going to be so when we reached that number, we call each other very humbled by it. it was wonderful. >> you cried. >> i did cry. >> you cried like a little girl. >> lenny, your acting is getting so good. we're almost for getting that you sing as well. i mean, you must be loving this, aren't you? >> it's been wonderful. and, you know, i have to give so much credit to lee because he's the one that brought me into this by casting me in "precious" and working with me in such a magnificent way and the beautiful thing is that a lot of people don't even realize that it's me. it's the biggest compliment that i could be getting. >> it's a very powerful movie, cuba, and has a huge undercurrent of the battle that was in america for decades. it tells it beautifully. oprah winfrey is great in the

movie and you worked with her. she's come out very strongly in the last few weeks doing press for the movie talking about her own experiences of racism. do they resonate with you? does every prominent black star in america have similar stories to tell? >> oh, i'm sure they do. everybody does. but first let me give a shout out to my hockey boys in the locker room because they demanded that i do that. i think that the mechanism that he used -- lee used so beautifully to show through the eyes of these butlers and to the relationship with the father and son was so powerfully conveyed the history that is the civil rights movement. and i think that everybody can identify with the cost that not just blacks but white americans gave and to protect the civil liberties of the people of this time and i think that the movie isn't biased in its approach. i think it's on a universal

platform that doesn't alienate any audience. i mean, we forget that america is made up of blacks, whites, asians, puerto ricans, everything. i mean, we're a melting pot of people and i think this movie kind of settles on that idea. >> lee, do you think that america is a more or less racist country since barack obama became president? >> wow. that's a powerful question. i think that people are angry that he's president and i think that they are showing their true colors and i think that you know when danny strong wrote those words, any black man could be killed by any white man and get away with it, trayvon martin had not happened. i end the movie with hope. you know, he's walking down and obama's giving that famous

speech, you know, and then i come out of my edit room and trayvon martin has happened. so, yeah, i think so. sadly, i think so. >> let me turn to you, lenny, on this. i think i've talked to you about this before. this film, i've brought it into sharp focus, as has oprah's revelations about the racism she suffered. have you yourself suffered that kind of racist? >> yes. as a child. and in growing up, going to school, you always bump into that kind of thing by certain individuals. has the world gotten better in general, yes. the generation, they don't even go for this, you know, this business. so many people just don't even understand it and the new generation. but it's still there. there are people -- you know, when you move forward, there are always going to be people that

don't want to go that way. they don't want to buy into that. they want to hold on to their traditions and their beliefs and the way that they were raised and therefore you have a lot of people that are, you know, fighting back and showing their true colors, as lee said. but in general, things are getting better with each generation. >> cuba, what's fascinating in the movie is the relationship between the father and son between the head butler and his son. the head butler taking the view that you should be seen and not heard and the son completely opposite, very vociferous. what is the right way to go? what do you advise the youth of america today, maybe in places like chicago where they feel very disenfranchised? should they be vociferous? >> i think that's why i was attracted to the screenplay because there's several

different train of thought of the way to go but with the youth there's been a real disconnect with the civil rights movement and the history of it and i think this movie opens that dialogue so that you can make your decisions as an african-american or an american, what is the best way to go about your -- you know, what is the best way to go about your relationships with people? and i think that we, as african-americans, you know, the film uses that mechanism of showing the two faces that professional blacks have to wear. but i think it's not just blacks. i think it's people -- your professional face is one thing and your relaxed face is another and i think that's what was so beautiful with the butlers that we used, the behind the scenes, the bantering in the house and the relationships of family. i think that's important to convey and i think that's what this movie does so beautifully with lee daniels' direction.

>> it certainly does. cuba, lenny, stay with me. i'm going to ask you just how true to life this story is. dad. how did you get here? i don't know.

>> it's very difficult for the colored staff to be promoted. >> well, from a summer surprise hit, "the butler" writer, danny. first of applause from your grateful stars there. before we get to you, danny, i have a lot of tweets coming in. 2003 me if you want to join in. could lenny kravitz for one second even remove his shades so we could see his wonderful, beautiful eyes. >> he's too hot to do that. >> you can wear mine.

i don't need these. >> now, can you have him take his shirt off. >> it's all for you, piers. >> let me turn to you, danny. it's a brilliantly written movie. i tell you one of the things that really stunned me was the portrayal of lyndon johnson and the fact that he actually of all the presidents could well lay claim to have had the greatest influence potentially on the civil rights movement besides the fact he comes out quite indiscriminately with quite racist remarks from time to time. >> sure. that was one of the key portrayals of the all the presidents was how they behaved in their personal life was sometimes in complete odds with their policy issues. with lbj, he was a texan through and through. when he was in the senate, he was extremely detrimental and

would block civil rights bills. but when he got into the presidency, he felt he could show his true colors on these issues and ended up being a huge advocate, one of the greatest in the history of this nation, for civil rights. >> lee daniels, obviously oprah is great in the movie. she's great at everything, she's oprah. and there you have a scene with obama and you could perhaps lay claim that oprah, the most powerful woman in the world, barack obama, the most powerful african-americans in the world, she said it did bring a tear to her eye, thinking about martin luther king, the dream speech and so on. tell me why you chose her and what you've made to the reaction of her being in it. >> oprah produced "precious" with me and we became friends and we were looking for something to do and then this came along.

she was a little nervous at first but i knew that i needed as much -- i needed her in the movie, one, because she was brilliant in "the color purple" and i missed her actor. and i loved working with her. i got nervous, though, the first day that she came to set because all of a sudden it became ♪ oprah ♪ but what she did was she opened herself up in a very raw and very fragile way and she came with no one. she came just with her driver that took her to and from set and she was nervous and she was -- she was human in a way that i didn't suspect she would be and we all felt very protective of her. >> yeah, she doesn't actually need protection. she's one of the most phenomenal people i've ever encountered in my life.

and finally for you, a lot of use of the "n" word, a lot of debate of whether the "n" word, a lot of debate about whether you reduce it to n-i-g-g-a, whether it's acceptable. >> i think at the end of the day if we want it to go away, we have to cut it out completely. >> i think that's a good way to end it. it a fantastic movie, to lee and to cuba, to lenny, to danny, congratulations on this smash hit. if you haven't seen it, everyone, go and see it. it's a heart warming, provocative movie and it tells you the civil rights movement through the story of this butler. it's available in all good

theaters now. thank you very much, chaps, we'll be right back. says here that cheerios has whole grain oats that can help remove some cholesterol, and that's heart healthy. ♪ [ dad ] jan?
